so if i did my whole suspension how good would this be

fom a 1-10 if i bought specific parts how good would my ride be

progress font and rear anti roll sway bars 27mm
neuspeed front x brace
spc front and rear chamber kits
koni yellow shocks
skunk 2 adjustable coilovers

now i would like my ride to be adjustable due to the snow in the winter in NJ,
but if anyone knows a better part post and tell me how good.

this ride upgrade should run about 1500 but that should be it for my suspension upgrade

Use GCs rather than Skank2s
You don't really need the Xbrace
And definitely don't put a 27 mm bar on the rear. Use a 22 and call it a day.

yea, ditch the skunks, and the x-brace can wait.

do they even make 27mm rear sway bars for the civic?

check it; i spent 1700 on the tein flex and have no regrets.
plus.
progress rear sway &
neuspeed upper stut bar

It's wicked good man. I thought about getting the xbrace, but the flex can handle it nicely without any help.

I suggest going with Tein but i'm a bit biased. I have a rough ride because the spring rates are ooutrageous on the flex 700, but its all good.

i saw it on dezod, i was browsing and saw 22 and 27 progress made it, may be for rsx but under 7thgencivic, if its not my bad, been in a rush today

so 22mm progress with spc front and rear chamber kit, koni yellow and ground control.

i just got neuspeed upper strut from eye_see_you

so thats a really good combo.
